A plain-English guide to G98 and G99, the rules that govern connecting solar and batteries to the grid in Great Britain. What they are, why they exist, the DNO, export limits, notification versus permission, and why understanding them before you install can save you money.
Renewable technology has become far more complicated, and installer knowledge has not always kept pace. A look at the widening solar knowledge gap, why it matters, and why the cheapest quote is rarely the whole story.
A Veeam backup server on Windows Server 2025 started rebooting itself after a PowerShell upgrade failed with a 'please insert the disk' prompt — and the root cause turned out to be a directory I had deleted, weeks earlier, to reclaim space.
How I built COSMOS — a self-hosted, Markdown-driven studio that captures mountains of raw material, sharpens it with AI review and scoring, and publishes durable knowledge straight into Hugo. It is open source; come and break it.
How I taught Home Assistant to schedule my home battery from solar forecasts, the Octopus Agile price curve and my own usage history, to cut grid import.
Why AI should be run as an enterprise platform and utility rather than bolted on as another application — the platform team, the gateway, governance, and the maturity curve.
How I built a Git-backed Markdown knowledge system and wired it into Atlas, so my second brain can be queried, surface forgotten connections, and act.
The qualification, discovery and technical frameworks I use to deliver AI consulting properly — and why the hardest, most valuable skill is saying no.
Why I built a local AI lab at home with Docker, Ollama, n8n and Home Assistant, and how it changed the way I think about enterprise AI.
Why Markdown, Git and Hugo build a knowledge base that compounds, whilst Word and SharePoint quietly turn your best work into a document graveyard.
